erm still in shock! its so hard to take in how to handle it, im scared to eat im scared of my blood sugars cause they are very high. im scared im gonna have to go on insulin i cried every day i had to inject with keeley. the diet is gonna do me good ill lose a ton of weight. im getting used to pricking my fingers but its annoying.
my eyes are playing up they keep going blurry another symptom

You just have to think of the positive that will come of this... Once the medicine has got into your system your symptoms will subside and you will feel so much better. You will also loose some weight.
If you can control it with diet chances are you wont get insulin. The Dr's my mum goes to use it as a very last resort. But once she got in insulin she also lost so much weight, It just kind of melted off her
Im glad your getting used to taking your blood now.
Are your numbers slowly coming down?

I am sure in a few weeks things will settle down and it will feel more 'normal' xx

the docs has give me tablets, 2 kinds one to take in the morning and ne with the evening meal. my sigars are still very high i just have to find out what foods spike my sugars. if i cant get my sugars down they will give me insulin

My aunt has diabetes too, nothing bad though, she just has to control it with her diet. It does throw you when you first find out you have to radically change your diet. There must be some things which are safe for you to eat, white meats/fish, veggies/salad are surely ok? It will all settle hon as you find out more...in the meantime sending lots of xxx
